[14] RADIO STATES ~ Poems composed by mis-hearing the car radio while driving through the various states described. Summer 1970 Missouri Me to be free a new way that cruises there A garbage can released for the stature of words Like that summer night you sweated the notch Your smile brings on a throne The match down in the fire to hold my hair Barely see the children on the leaves Burn there with you Like a tear roll out of town Because you're sweet to let me go A necktie in it Things that you don't need Eat up while you can Sounds of that plain of lonely thunder My teardrop in the palm Making the taste groovy Beefstew like my wife since sound came in In color in his lap laughing The glaze of starlight on the floor Drops in his lap laughing and closes the door. Nebraska She climbs and chimes that True love's kind Woe won't grow into Tempting everyone to ride across The burning race. It can mean that much to you Deeply content with just your name that Really alters you. Sickening words Ricochet in my hand Burning that way But I can pulse. To you life becomes an empty bank, The cords fly away, Laughter and rain can steal above you Starlight that closes the door That a father never hears Watching bridges blowing stones against the window. The west got to feel Ugly fright Snuggling her head in her chest Your hair in an angel cake Your smile dreams on a throne to Lift desire-winged lips to your waiting fingertips, Winged desire thawed If you can take it Like a tragic star That fits all to soon On the knees of their eyes Really close to you. Iowa Who you are and who died We have just learned as our wandering boy has returned home drunk, My mind today Intellectually a thing Sincerely waltzing On a cake I take. More than I give Watching the boats watching my heart A big ugly mammal Dream away the soda that's melted on my face, Come away the lonely herd I wear beneath my skin, The shattered man That sprinkles into jars My heart cake wings That brings a frame of pictures to mind. It's the final time for practice Escaping down the bandstand With the rest of the crowd intact Your short beautiful life Sleeping up in your room the way you used to To call it alone. I'm glad that you don't call For as long as the wind blows I kiss the ground My soul suspected me Any time love's water I have left behind. Youth can gaze but don't forget The den open to me any time to cloud. Always stay together A care to a teenage dream movie queen, a movie gown To pick her out a paper nap, One of those great ponds that keeps on asking In the valley made by day My pockets made of stone Before the morning takes the trail Where the marching legs don't fall Climbing in the hall All the stuff there in the glass My thing gets hot. The easy greasy cool Rolling up the sea coast, You are the darkness that rows. South Dakota Top court there's the big world of the rain drop Open out inside you her eyes will smell the perfume You will have I was the only one that you could name Heart of rabid sunshine heart of the Lord of sunshine Old folded ashcan the linings inside may turn the tide Bowl of dynamite coming up instead every night The doctor on the ball I smoke up on the ceiling Have a little spoon all alone in a barroom Only to kiss her bloated like wine four lips to kiss me A reflection of my dream man almost sated Try to mix me alone crack the battle-lines' dough The banner of the name for one night's expense In the necklace of the peace don't wave your Sad eyes at me my aching sitting in the sun Put a match in the air a foolish piece of Wire when the window is here the way to town Take a laugh on the hill street of pain With all the tears there are today careless hugging To the ground of the long distance cheer Of the number of the kerchief of the learning self-explosion Go like a road to avoid life's mud and stones. Wyoming Fan your love with me. Colorado This is the day I have my heart within me turn The strings you used to bend A sizzling day There in a veil of white fire From this land of lonely. Utah Where true love is fed The string on the line And my paint laughs out loud Whole as the other Bloodound of hate Remarkable thing All belong to this family Tearing up this heart of mine Who stole my hand The next time we're running just like before. Idaho Gliding in the rain Numb mobile Your eyes were glue I wish I had changed my shoes A big metal man Major vegetable belts This is the green land I hear Swing you out of this world. Oregon You spring your great bottle Out hunting a lemon for me Your life can be your level chair Let not your heart beat mortals Try without searching A million men who almost left the store This mountain scheme. California Down the brains softly in the wind To take that old book From the shelf The trouble descends the foot in my hair The least little bit Painted pictures of the desert that shine A joy to be living a cloud some day Valentines they can desire The moon of beauty is right at hand Don't let your fog blow away Your lonely farm didn't need to ruin We're rolling in Or you can regress I spent my whole time kissing The food all in a slump I wish I had a system to my heart and not my mind The diamond misery I find Cigars and the rent Steaming in the name of the Lord The sun blasted black Life I know has torn Your life, joy, and pain But cattle are standing on my heart and eye For in death I'm caressing you Filled up with tea now to blend Like a lap in her hand Dusty boobs would really shame you now Things will never be set Who feels a thousand Chinamen Adjustable hairdressers Ugly beauty Spread the needles For I found the golden wire Did you catch the faces of those rolling in your garden Falling when they ride All the lonely feelings that return in misery His fine and purple hands are bringing to his mama's breast in agony Maybe I see myself among the clouds The doctor's face that I call home Watch her eyes dim confusion, not me Statuary in high-heels. Arizona Why should I go running through the coves of the earth Historic and scenic cookie And your foot on the bay And the streets are paved by acid by The sunfall in life's pleasant starch Youngbloods of gold Shedding pain pills Who change for us at last Our past housing needs If I don't drag your boat A love so deep it's true Still runs complete With the love that bends my side As the sand washes me A knot has covered up the windows. New Mexico A varnish to my taste buds My tears are pools of laughter When I squeeze you you blend Oklahoma Living cigars You sleep on, funny thing! And I know this nonsense pocketbook (Oh gee, liquid peas!) And the moment that she was broke open in desperation Arrive and in every respect luxurious For your chilling needs. Texas A table in the hangar It stands upon Mars Beyond my other discoveries. |
